So the author is in a clear conflict of interest with the contents of the blog because he's an employee of Anthropic. But regarding this "blog", showing the graph where OpenAI compares "frontier" models and shows gpt-4o vs o3-high is just disingenuous, o1 vs o3 would have been a closer fight between "frontier" models. Also today I learned that there are people paid to benchmark AI models in terms of how close they are to "human" level, apparently even "expert" level whatever that means. I'm not a LLM hater by any means, but I can confidently say that they aren't experts in any fields.

The guys in the other thread who said that OpenAI might have quantized o3 and that's how they reduced the price might be right. This o3-pro might be the actual o3-preview from the beginning and the o3 might be just a quantized version. I wish someone benchmarks all of these models to check for drops in quality.

To be honest, checking if there is a path between two nodes is a better example of NP-Hard, because it's obvious why you can't verify a solution in polynomial time. Sure the problem isn't decidable, but it's hard to give problems are decidable and explain why the proof can't be verified in P time. Only problems that involve playing optimally a game (with more than one player) that can have cycles come to mind. These are the "easiest" to grasp.
Well obviously they will have thousands of applications from which they need to make a selection removing trolls, luddites, etc.
How would you do it without asking for some applicants' details?
Considering how much they trust their LLMs, why don't they just run o1-pro to make a summary of the responses given in the feedback
Is this saying that intel will support _only_ 512 instructions? (And not 256).
Or that it'll support _both_ 256 and 512 instructions going forwards (and stop doing the nonsense where some cores support 512 and others don't?)
It will support both, but considering the previous experiences with avx 512 on intel, I wouldn't that excited

rather worried that it's going to go the same fate as ShareDrop (https://github.com/ShareDropio/sharedrop) and Snapdrop (https://github.com/SnapDrop/snapdrop) where they recently got taken over by LimeWire the crypto/AI company.
I wonder how much LimeWire pays to buy all of these foss projects, must be a decent amount if everyone is selling his solution
chad1n commented on Hallucinations in code are the least dangerous form of LLM mistakes simonwillison.net/2025/Ma... · Posted by u/ulrischa
The idea is correct, a lot of people (including myself sometimes) just let an "agent" run and do some stuff and then check later if it finished. This is obviously more dangerous than just the LLM hallucinating functions, since at least you can catch the latter, but the first one depends on the tests of the project or your reviewer skills.
The real problem with hallucination is that we started using LLMs as search engines, so when it invents a function, you have to go and actually search the API on a real search engine.
chad1n commented on OlmOCR: Open-source tool to extract plain text from PDFs olmocr.allenai.org/... · Posted by u/eamag
These "OCR" tools who are actually multimodals are interesting because they can do more than just text abstraction, but their biggest flaw is hallucinations and overall the nondeterministic nature. Lately, I've been using Gemini to turn my notebooks into Latex documents, so I can see a pretty nice usecase for this project, but it's not for "important" papers or papers that need 100% accuracy.

It's not really a hot take, considering the price, they probably released it to scam some people when they to `benchmark` it or to buy the `pro` version. You must be completely in denial to think that gpt4.5 had a successful launch, considering that 3 days before, a real and useful model was released by their competitor.

Link directly to the Github commit: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b..., which links to the following issue: https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/issues/16016
There are a bunch of locked Google docs linked in the issue, probably internal privacy guidelines.
I can't say that this surprises me, perhaps they are looking for alternate revenue streams in case Google cuts them out?
To HN: Will you be quitting firefox over this change, or is there simply no better place to leave for?
I quit the original l"Firefox" a long time ago, I've been using librewolf since its release and now zen (also a firefox fork) and I keep ungoogled chromium in case a site is broken on firefox.
